GAA commentator backs Limerick hurlers to ‘bounce back’ for 2025
Marty Morrissey says he is proud to know the four-time All-Ireland winning team, branding them 'top-notch'
MARTY Morrissey brands the Limerick hurlers “top-notch” as he predicts an almighty comeback from the four-time All-Ireland winning side this year.
The Limerick senior hurlers begin their competitive season this Saturday when they play Cork in Round 1 of the Allianz Hurling League in Supervalu Páirc Uí Chaoimh.
“They are the benchmark,” Marty said at the launch of Regeneron Great Limerick Run.
“They are going to do very well, I think they’ll bounce back. I am very proud that my crowd won the All Ireland,” the Clare man said, “but putting that aside, Limerick set the bar. Great bunch of hurlers and great people as well.
“You couldn’t have a greater bunch of lads. I am proud to know the Limerick hurlers and to follow their journey and commentate on their All-Ireland victories. I feel a little part of them!”
Speaking of the Clare-Limerick rivalry, Marty said that the Banner side “admire Limerick” and that he personally can't wait to see the two sides go head to head in the Gaelic Grounds in May.
